Yummy Soup for the soul!

So it is the end of the last week before the last week of school. Man okay I am ready to graduate. We got our yearbooks today, its sad a whole year of my life has pasted and it was filled with amazing moments and awesome times with friends, but time has gone by so very fast. But a great time to sit back and reflect on my memories. Some Tomato Basil Soup.

It's delicious! I hope lol. It is cooking as I write.

Here are the ingredients and directions Grab a friend cook it up and reflect on the past. <3

CREAMY TOMATO BISQUE

2 lbs fresh ripe tomatoes, seeded and chopped

1/2 white onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 Tbsp Italian seasoning

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 cup vegetable stock

1/4 cup white wine

1/4 cup Half & Half

In a heavy saucepan heat the olive oil over medium low heat. Saute the onions for about 5-6 minutes until translucent. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute more. Add in the tomatoes and cook on medium low heat for about 5 minutes. Add the white wine, vegetable stock, and Italian seasoning and stir til combined. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and let simmer for 20-30 minutes until the soup has reduced by 1/4-1/3. Remove from heat and in small batches add the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth.
